Fix “Max Opaque Types Exceeded 2000” ApacheSim Error
This message tells us that there are extra constructions appearing in your project. Here is how to investigate too many constructions/materials and resolve.
Go to Apache and then open the Apache Constructions Database (ApCDB)
Now, try selecting Purge unused project constructions on the left and then attempt a simulation. That should remove the extra constructions which are not in use.
You can also purge materials, we recommend that too in the case the project has become bloated.
Advanced:
If that doesn't help, then the first thing to do is carry out a “save as” on your project.
You can manually clear all constructions from the project by deleting the .dfa and .mat files from the project apache folder, these hold the construction and material data respectively so when you next open the project you would find all constructions removed and replaced with defaults.
You can then import (via Master Templates) or recreate the constructions you need, assign them to the rooms and run the analysis.
